Between about December 2007 and June 2009, the United States was considered to be in a recession. The U.S. Gross Domestic Product fell approximately 3% from the third quarter of 2008 to the third quarter of 2009. Also, during December 2007 and June 2009, the Standard and Poors 500 index dropped by 38% and the unemployment rate climbed from 5% to 9.5%.
The macroeconomic situation affected almost all companies since higher unemployment affected personal consumption, which dropped from 10,140.3 Billion Dollars in Aug 2008 to 9,807 Billion Dollars in June 2009, a drop of 3.8 percent.
Starbucks is one of the companies affected by the December 2007 recession. The following table shows several ratios for Starbucks corresponding to the years 2006, 2007, and 2008. Use a stock price of 10.9 dollars per share for the year 2009.
